I’ve been on and off the betas almost weekly but after my iPhone getting ridiculously hot again on the latest beta I gave up. I’m back on iOS 13 and plan to stay that way until iOS 14 is officially released. Home screen widgets are good but not enough for me at the moment toContinue reading “My iOS 13 setup”

Can you run macOS Big Sur with 8GB RAM?
I’m currently running with two different MAC setups in our house a late 2015 5k iMac and a 2016 MacBook, both have 8GB RAM.

Remember, iOS 14 is still beta
The betas have moved to weekly and beta 5 was great but (for me) beta 6 has been less than stellar. My iPhone 11 Pro is constantly overheating, widgets aren’t working, apps can’t be removed from the Home Screen and it’s a reminder we are still in beta. Please have a think before you goContinue reading “Remember, iOS 14 is still beta”
A Pixel 4a running iOS
The more I see the Google Pixel 4a the more I look over in envy. As much as I like the camera on my iPhone 11 Pro I hate the size and construction. Two of my favourite iPhones were the 5c and 7 in jet black, both either made of plastic or felt like it.Continue reading “A Pixel 4a running iOS”
